Deposits in old notes exceeding Rs 5000 can be made only once: Ministry of Finance

For amounts exceeding Rs 5000 in old Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes, they can now be deposited only once per bank account.

The money will be credited to the account only after receiving a satisfactory reply from the customer as to why the amount couldn’t be deposited earlier, the Economic Affairs Department said.

Also, an equivalent value of specified bank notes tendered may be credited to a third party account, provided specific authorisation by the third party.

And deposits collected by District Co-operative Central bank between November 10 and 14 in old notes will be subjected to audit checks to verify the KYC documents provided by individuals or members of Primary Agricultural Credit societies.

The limit for withdrawals has remained unchanged at Rs 24,000 per week.
